Ongoing Monitoring of Vital Signs in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Before and After Acute Exacerbation. (REACT)
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of early detection of acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by the remote monitoring of vital signs. The main question the study aims to answer is: Could a remote monitoring device allow for earlier detection of exacerbations with individualized monitoring and continuous data collection? All patients will receive conventional clinical follow-up based on their health status and clinical recommendations. At the same time, they will benefit from the Bora Care® medical remote monitoring device.
